Study guide Potential energy- "The energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system". An example of potential energy is when a pitcher in baseball swings his hand back and is not in motion. Read more: http://zebu.uoregon.edu/1998/ph101/l5.html
Kinetic energy- “ The energy of a body or a system with respect to the motion of the body or of the particles in the system”. An example of kinetic energy is a roller coaster going down a hill. Read more: http://zebu.uoregon.edu/1998/ph101/l5.html
